Acoustically treating a room normally involves bulky panels and other passive materials that must be very large and thick to affect low frequencies. But a new technology could do away with all that, replacing it with super-thin panels that use ionized air to perfectly tame the acoustics of any room.

In this week's episode, hosts Paul and Darren speak to the legendary founders of Sound Advice: Bruce Black and Gary Kimberley.

Having worked in the press industry for more years than they wish to talk about, and as part of the collective consultancy known as The Creative Merchants, Bruce and Gary are well-known figures in the world of audio, TV and home cinema. Recently they teamed up to create Sound Advice, an independent review website that has grown massively since its launch less than two years ago and is creating a stir in teh industry for all the right reasons.

After they piqued our interest at the 2023 Clarity Conference we pinned Bruce and Gary down for a deeper chat about what it is they do - and we didn't let them go until they agreed to a partnership deal which we believe offers all our members a huge opportunity to drive new business!
